    As in a singer, group, author, actor etc?

    I can't stand the Stereophonics.
    Even their cover of Handbags & Gladrags goes through me, so much so that now I hate the Rod Stewart version, which previously I had quite liked.

    However one of my favourite songs of all time, which I just adore, especially when I'm driving, is Dakota and so now all is forgiven. I like the song so much (you're gonna think I'm crazy) that I bought tickets for myself and a friend to see them recently at the O2 and we didn't go in until almost 10pm, just so we could hear that one song and it was worth every cent.
    I love it.

    Bryan Adams is a singer I really detest... but I do really like the duets he did with Mel C and Tina Turner.

    Steve Collins came across as a bit of a tool in interviews but he shut Eubank up so I like him for that.

    Pretty much every time I've read a post from MadsL I've found myself disagreeing with him/her, sometimes a little bit, sometimes a big bit, but it was almost always a clean sweep of me disagreeing with what was posted by them, yet, I ended up thanking one of their posts tonight. No big deal, but in the context of how boring my night has been it would rank about the 5th most interesting thing that's happened to me over the past few hours.

    Chocolate ice cream, talking to my friend, getting promoted in Fifa online and ordering a book from Amazon that will be a perfect Xmas pressie all rank ahead, I guess in that order.

    There's nothing dull about chocolate ice cream. Sounds like a good day :)

    I have an ear infection, so I stayed in bed all day.

    Sting wrote a song called I hung my head, and Johnny cash sings an animal version of it. Couldn't believe he wrote it when I first heard it.

    The whole of the Temple Bar area was destined to be turned into a central bus station by CIE in the late 80's but Haughey (as a part of an election campaign) went on TV and vowed to prevent CIE from getting their hands on it and to also give tax incentives to small business that wished to set up there.

    Guess some might see it as a failed endevour consider what the place has become but I think it was one of the more positive steps taken at the time as it is a tourist hot spot for sure now and I really can't imagine Dublin without it, let alone a gigantic Dublin Bus station / depot there instead of it.

    So as I didn't like Haughey, that would be my choice.

    Don't like Nine Inch Nails but they do a great version of Johnny Cashs Hurt.

    Katy Perry has done Russell Brand.


    (homage to poster up there, can't do quotey thing)


    Also...can't believe I'm about to admit this, but I admire those pro-life tds for acting in accordance with their values and beliefs (even though I know those beliefs are total effing nonsense). I'd be a lot less admiring if their taking a stand had actually affected anything though. I get fierce conflicted thinking about it...

    (that's 'fierce' in the Irish Mammy sense btw)

    hmmmm .... I cant think of one.

    However, if it does count there were quite a few people I disliked during my school days.

    Statistically out of the number I disliked by now at least one must be an alcoholic, and a percentage will also contract gruesome std's or experience unwanted pregnancies or experience poverty and homelessness.

    I haven't experienced any of these. So technically yes - someone I dislike must have taken a course of action which leads to what should be my schadenfreude (shameful joy) .... but is really just my freude (joy).

    Fingers crossed for certain ones among them.

    I wish I knew who was which so I could offer them help.

    And then not. :pac:

    Tom Cruise played Jack Reacher. Travesty.

    Couldn't even watch the trailers in case Reacher would transform forever in my mind into that short-arse Scientologist. (it's not libel if it's true, is it?) Ugh.

    Best hope is they'll do a Bond/Dr Who job and get someone (taller better faster
    stronger) else in.

    Sorry for the rant; I didn't realise I felt so strongly about it...

    I'm not a big U2 fan but Bono and The Edge wrote She's A Mystery To Me, which in my opinion is one of Roy Orbisons best songs.

    Can't stand Coldplay. Chris Martin is a pretentious, smug twat and has a horrible whiney voice.
    But damn it, this song is great:

    And while I don't hate Keane, I always saw them as really dull and formulaic. But I've always really liked this song:

    Temple Bar would have made a much better bus station.

    I detest everything Fianna Fail represent. But they brought in the smoking ban which, while I agree with it, lead to me meeting my wife.

    Both bands have churned out too much blandness for me to like them overall, but they have a few absolute gems in the mix.
